“Hiss!” Selena inhaled deeply upon hearing that, wondering if she was mistaken. Unexpectedly, Fane had already broken through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level in such a short period.“That’s incredible! It looks like you’ve refined a third-grade premium pill, too. Now that you’re in the First-grade soul-penetrating level, it must be a piece of cake for you to kill someone in the Second-grade soul-penetrating level!” Selena was absolutely excited. After all, it was not easy to break through into the soul-penetrating level as it was an important realm.Fane was capable of killing masters in the First-grade soul-penetrating level when he was in the Seventh-grade ultimate god level. After breaking through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level, it would be easier to kill masters in the Second or Third-grade soul-penetrating level.Fane chuckled and was hopeful of the future. “Haha… I’ll surely be the pavilion master. When I’m the pavilion master, I’ll give time to the fo
“Haha…!” Fane chuckled and explained, “I’m here to talk with your fortress master.”“Alright, then. I’ll have someone to lead you.” As Fane had a horrifying combat power, the people of the Nine Armies respected him. The elder immediately ordered a young person to lead Fane to their fortress master.As Fane left them, the elder could not help but mumble, “That’s very strange. That guy has been busy training in retreat every day. Why is he suddenly visiting our fortress master? We’re building a new pavilion and choosing a new pavilion master. Is this young man here to convince our fortress master and our members to vote for him?”However, the old man soon shook his head and smiled coldly. “This young man truly is naive to have such thoughts. How could we choose him to be pavilion master instead of our fortress master when we’re members of the Nine Armies?”Fane soon arrived before Fortress Master Whittemore and asked him to have everyone else leave them both in the yard.“Brother Fa
“Third… Third-grade premium?” Fortress Master Whittemore’s voice sounded shaky, albeit slightly.He understood well that third-grade elementary alchemists were extremely rare. Such alchemists were capable of increasing the training speed for those in the ultimate god level. This was extremely useful, especially for those who were in the First and Second-grade ultimate god level.However, such pills had not much use for people like him, who had achieved the Ninth-grade ultimate god level and failed twice to break through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level.After all, the power of a mere third-grade elementary pill was still not enough to allow them to break through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level. The energy might not be sufficient at the most important moment, affecting the process of breaking through before causing them to fail in the end.However, third-grade premium pills are completely different. The energy in such pills was several times more compared to t
“How is that possible? I’ve long had my eyes on Young Master Fane’s talents. You were capable of killing a person in the First-grade soul-penetrating level when you were in the Seventh-grade ultimate god level. Who can be our pavilion master if it isn’t a genius like you?” Fortress Master Whittemore immediately laughed and flattered Fane, all while staring at the pill in Fane’s hands. “Still, I’m afraid that the First Fortress Master would be unhappy. How about this: I alone will vote for him, but all my subordinates shall vote for you. By then, I’ll be able to deny any knowledge when the First Fortress Master asked me what happened. I’ll say that you’ve won over my subordinates. How does that sound?”“Haha… That’ll work. As long as I’m able to win!” Fane laughed and placed the pill into Fortress Master Whittemore’s palm. “Alright, then, I’ll be taking my leave now.”“Take care, Young Master Fane. I won’t be able to show you out as I’m afraid that people will see us!” Fortress Master
“Haha! Great! What I need is very simple: just have your fortress members vote for me.” Fane laughed out loudly. Unexpectedly, the Fortress Lavigne’s fortress master was in such a hurry and took the pill without much objection, even agreeing to his condition without much protest.“Sure, that won’t be a problem at all! Everything is fine as long as I’m able to break through to the soul-penetrating level,” remarked Fortress Master Lavigne elatedly. He soon thought about something and immediately added, “By the way, Brother Fane, don’t forget about us when you become a Fourth-grade alchemist later on!”“Don’t worry. I’ll surely reward those who are hardworking in training and contribute to the pavilion. After all, it’s not difficult for an alchemist to obtain such items, as long as there are materials to cultivate the pills.” At that point, Fane was secretly making plans of his own. If he formed a pavilion in the future, would it not be easy for him to obtain martial enhancement materia
Selena nodded and advised Fane, “Alright. Please don’t overwork yourself, do you understand? You have to relax when it’s time to take it easy.”“I understand. I’ve just broken through into the First-grade soul-penetrating level, and I only need to train in the morning these couple of days. I’ll stop researching the cultivation of pills at night and have a breather then,” conceded Fane with a helpless smile. “I can’t help it—members of the Alliance Guard won’t let us off the hook so easily. I’m sure that they’ll do something. To prevent a terrible battle between both parties, I think the main pavilions won’t interfere with the matter straight away. They’ll send some forces under their control to cause us trouble.”“What should we do, then? Won’t we be in trouble? We might be in a dangerous situation within a couple of days.” Selena started to worry once again when she heard this.“Don’t worry, my dear. They might think that we aren’t at the Nine Armies, and they might cause trouble t
“Yes, yes, yes… Master Mackenzie is right. We can’t disappoint the forces who follow our footsteps.” An elder from another pavilion shot up. “Of course, we need to take action. After all, our Alliance Guard has six pavilions, while the Anti-Alliance Guard only has five main pavilions. Their overall strength isn’t as grand as ours, and the forces that follow their lead aren’t as many as ours. We can’t swallow this bitter pill in silence!”“That’s right, we can’t suffer in silence. F*ck… We have to teach them a lesson!” said another pavilion master, standing up as well. “Since they’re daring enough to wipe out one of our pavilions, we’ll wipe out two of theirs! About two hundred thousand of those f*ckers who entered this area are still alive. If we wipe out two of their smaller pavilions, their number would dwindle to about two hundred thousand, right? Haha! That’ll work, won’t it?”An elder with white hair thought about it and commented, “About six hundred thousand of them entered, an
“Alright, alright, I’ll go with whatever you decide. Anyway, I was just voicing out my opinion, and I hope that everybody doesn't regret it later on.” Master Hackford smiled bitterly. He knew it was useless no matter what he said. Most of the people present were superior people, and that was why they paid a high importance to their honor. This time, they wanted to take action because they felt that they had lost their honor.Since most of them agreed to the idea, it did not matter what he said.“In order to be fair, it’s best if we raise our hands and vote,” decided Master Loador as he stood up once more. “How about this: those who agree that we’ll take action and send our subordinate forces to attack them will raise their hand. Those that don’t agree don’t need to.”Soon, about 80-percent of the people present raised their hand.A satisfied smile soon appeared on Master Loador’s at the sight of numerous raised hands. “It looks like everyone dislikes cowardly people. Since Master H
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
